Summer theatre and music in Surrey

One of the highlights of the summer season is the chance to enjoy outdoor entertainment in the glorious setting of a National Trust garden or parkland.
The live entertainment and beautiful setting is provided, so all you’ll need to pack is a picnic and a blanket to have all the ingredients for a perfect summer evening at Hatchlands Park, Claremont Landcape Garden or Polesden Lacey.
For classical music look no further than Leith Hill Place with their indoor classical music recital series.

Visit us throughout August and treat yourself to an evening of theatre. This summer we’re featuring four shows, ranging from one of Shakespeare’s wonderful comedies to messing about on the river in children’s classic The Wind in the Willows. So why not fill up your picnic hamper and join us for a little drama at dusk.

There’s a great range of entertainment at Leith Hill Place this summer. We’re hosting a range of musical guests from local choirs, to village bands and artistes from the Royal College of Music. Plus a not to be missed theatre performance of kid’s classic Peter Pan. Whatever your taste, there's something for everyone.

Gather up your family and friends, pack your favourite summer lunch and seek out the perfect spot to unroll your picnic blanket on a visit to our countryside and gardens in the South East. Follow in the footsteps of Jane Austen’s Emma, who famously picnicked at Box Hill, or set up on top of Devil’s Dyke for glorious views of the rolling South Downs.
